BOTTLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.-

Patented Oct. 1, 1907.

Application filed April 8, 1907. $erial N0. 367,064:-

To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIER CLYDE HIZAR, a citizen of the United States,residing at San Diego, in the county of San Diego and State ofCalifornia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inBottles, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in what are commonly known asnon-refillable bottles, which cannot be emptied of their originalcontents after having been once filled and closed without destroying aportion thereof, so that the fraudulent refilling of the bottle after ithas been emptied of its original contents may be prevented.

My invention has for its object the provision of a simple and efficientclosure of this character which cannot be removed from the neck of thebottle after having been applied and which therefore necessitates thebreaking off of the neck of the bottle to enable the contents to beemptied; and a further object is to provide means whereby any brokenparticles or fragments of glass that may result from the breaking of theneck of the bottle are prevented from getting into the contents of thebottle.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a central vertical section of the bottle andstopper; Fig. 2 and Fig. 2 together form a similar view showing theupper part of the neck of the bottle broken off and removed from thelower part; Fig. 3 shows a central vertical section of the central plugor stopper; Fig. 4 shows a similar section of the gasket or packing;Fig. 5 is a view of the wire catch; Fig. 6 shows a view, partly insection, of the thimble, and Fig. 7 is a view of the wire ring which iscast in the neck of the bottle I have illustrated in the drawings abottle of ordinary form having a neck portion to which my invention isapplied. The closure comprises a central stopper or plug or, preferablyof glass or like material, having a circular flange Z at its top and asmaller flange m at its bottom and a transverse perforation 9 below theupper flange. A collar 1) of cork or rubber or other suitable material,surrounds the plug a between its flanges and forms a gasket or packingto prevent the escape of the contents of the bottle. This gasket is alsoperforated, opposite the perforation g in the plug, and a bent wirecatch or retainer 0 passed through these perforations, thence on eachside it is bent downwardly, embedded in the gasket along its outersurface, the extreme ends being formed into hooks k which are adapted tosnap over the edge t of an annular recess formed in the neck of thebottle, when the bottle is closed, to retain the stopper and gasket inclosed position against either gaseous pressure from the contents of thebottle or any force tending to draw the stopper which it might bepossible to apply. Near the mouth of the neck of the bottle the bore ofthe neck is enlarged, forming a circular shouldered recess within whichthe flange Z of the plug fits snugly, leaving no projection orirregularity of surface which would afford a hold to enable the plug tobe withdrawn. Below the annular recess a thimble d, the lower end ofwhich is rolled back to form a cir cular bead or ring f at the bottom,is cast in the neck of the bottle, the bead, which is embedded in theinner wall of the lower end of the neck portion of the bottle, servingto fix the thimble irremovably in place. The thimble is preferablyslightly tapered .towards its upper end. A metal ring 0 is also cast inthe neck of the bottle, embedded in its outer wall and adjacent themiddle portion of the thimble, which has the effect of making the glassmore susceptible to fracture in the plane of the ring than elsewherealong the neck; and a sharp blow on the neck of the bottle willtherefore break it at this point, when the upper portion of the neck,containing the closure elements, may be readily removed, the slighttaper of the thimble above the ring facilitating this operation.

It is obvious that a groove around the neck of the bottle at the pointwhere the ring is located would serve to weaken it at that point, andanswer the same purpose, and my invention is therefore not limited tothe employment of the ring except as to those claims in which the ringis expressly mentioned.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim:

1. A bottle comprising a bottle having a neck portion provided with arecess at its top forming an internal annular shoulder and also providedwith an intermediate internal annular recess, a plug having a flangefitting snugly within said top recess and provided with a transverseperforation, a packing or gasket having a like perforation andsurrounding saidplug below its flange, and a wire catch passing throughsaid perforations in the plug and gasket and provided with hooked endsadapted to snap into the intermediate annular recess and prevent thewithdrawal of the plug and gasket 1n the neck of the bottle.

A bottle comprising a bottle having a neck portion provided with aninternal annular recess, a plug provided with a transverse perforation,a gasket or packing having a like perforation surrounding said plug, anda wire catch passing through said perforations in the plug and gasketand provided with hooked ends adapted to snap into the annular recessand prevent the withdrawal of the plug and gasket from the neck of thebottle.

3. A bottle comprising a bottle having a neck portion provided with aninternal annular recess, a plug provided with a transverse perforation,a gasket or packing having a like perforation surrounding said plug, awire catch passingthrough said perforations in the plug and gasket andprovided with hooked ends adapted to snap into the annu lar recess andprevent the withdrawal of the plug and gasket, and a thirnble fittingwithin the neck portion of the bottle below said annular recess andirremovably fixed at its lower end to the inner wall of the bottle, saidneck portion of the bottle being provided with means adapting it to bebroken transversely intermediate the ends of the thimble.
